Blow-Up of Solutions for a Coupled Nonlinear Viscoelastic Equation with Degenerate Damping Terms: Without Kirchhoff Term

In this work, we consider a quasilinear system of viscoelastic equations with degenerate damping and source terms without the Kirchhoff term. Under suitable hypothesis, we study the blow-up of solutions.

Quadratic Cost Minimax Optimal Control Problems for a Semilinear Viscoelastic Equation with Long Memory

In this paper, we study the quadratic cost minimax optimal control problems for a semilinear viscoelastic equation with long memory. A global well-posedness theorem regarding the solutions to its Cauchy problem is given. We formulate the minimax control problem with bilinear control inputs and corresponding disturbances. Under some assumptions, we prove the existence of optimal pairs and give necessary optimality conditions for optimal pairs in some observation cases.
